Comment:

 Hi @giuse, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

 `order` is one of the [https://codex.wordpress.org/Reserved_Terms reserved
 terms] in WordPress. In [source:tags/5.0.1/src/wp-includes/class-wp-
 query.php#L1543 WP_Query::parse_order()], any value other than `ASC` is
 treated as `DESC`.

 If the home page is set to display the latest posts, adding
 `?order=something` doesn't seem to affect anything.

 If a static home page is selected in Reading Settings, this parameter does
 indeed show the list of latest posts instead of the home page, but I don't
 necessarily see an issue with that.
